<sigh> Both the nice hardware browsers I used to (try to) use in
F7 seem to have evaporated. How do I ask from the CLI?

Much of that is over my head, but it helps. Thanks!
Fwiw, two other F8 machines behind the same KVM switch (Vastech 4-
port -- a Taiwanese generic, I believe) have no problem. I installed, as
usual, onto each machine with all peripherals connected directly, and
only put them back behind the switch when all installs (and immediate yum
updates) were complete.
